Domaine Croze Granier Cuvée Réserve Côtes Du Rhône 2009, Ac

This blend of Grenache and Syrah features aromas of wet earth, blackberry, mocha and vanilla. Dry, intense with very good across-the-board aroma replays. This is a fine CdR for current consumption with blackened lamb chops or gourmet sage-and-rosemary sausage. Velvety tannins and bright acids bring balance, suggesting it will reward a couple of years in a cellar. (VINTAGES panel, March 2011) -- 81
